The car was equipped with both a VBOX HD and a Video VBOX, along with an OLED Display which, as you can see in the video, gave the driver a clear view of the speed he was travelling. Check out the acceleration, which is truly astonishing. The car had to be brought to a halt very quickly on the runway and the Venom team are confident that the car could go even faster given a longer run.

Joe Lachovsky, from the Racelogic USA office was on hand to verify the numbers. Here is his report:

"The weather for the run couldn't have been more perfect. There was definitely a nervous calm in the air, as months of work by Hennessey's crew was coming down to this moment. When Brian (the driver) took off, you could hear that he was on the gas for quite a while, which only served to ratchet up the suspense. It wasn't until we had made our way to the other end of the runway that we saw the OLED display had confirmed they broke the record. Being able to confirm the data logged by the VBOX 3i on the very runway that the shuttle had landed on many times, is something I'll never forget. Truly a remarkable experience."

It's that time of year again, Autosport International is just around the corner and we would like to invite you to come along to the Racelogic stand 7535 in Hall 7 to see what we have on offer.

New product launch

We are particularly excited about the brand new VBOX LapTimer which is being launched at the show.

This new standalone predictive lap timer not only shows your predictive 'delta-T time', but also has multi-coloured LEDs showing your speed difference or 'delta-V' as well.

We believe that this is a real breakthrough in driver feedback and really helps focus the mind on getting the best exit speed from the corner. So if you want to up your game in 2014, then it could be well worth while popping by to see the demonstration.

We are delighted to announce that the long awaited VBOX HD video data logger is now available! If you are attending the Professional Motorsport World exhibition in Cologne from 12th to 14th November you will be able to see it in action - visit booth 5042!

Bringing together all of the driver development features from our existing products, the new VBOX HD records crisp, high definition video in high vibration environments without suffering from the wobble and distortion inherent with normal HD cameras.
